System error with default boot option

Post by hoanggeneral » 2018/01/18 17:02:31

I have 2 options to boot at the yellow screen (below):

1) SHMZ (2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.x86_64)
2) PBX (2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64)

The 1st option is the default option. However, if I leave the system to auto boot into this option, the system will give me the error ERST: Failed to get Error Log Address Range. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown -block(0,0)

A- How can I fix this crash issue?
B- In the mean time, how can I set the 2nd option (PBX) as the default boot?

Thank you.

Boot to the working kernel and yum reinstall the other one by full name and version number. However, that really doesn't look like a CentOS system at all... and if it is, it's very badly out of date and needs a yum update

For FreePBX questions you need to ask the freepbx people. It is not CentOS.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Hi Trevor.
It's a CentOS machine.
This is the kernel of the working once.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
How can I set the 2nd option (PBX) as the default boot?

Edit the file grub.conf in /boot/grub to change the "default" from 0 to 1 to set the boot default to the 2nd option.
